There is a constant war between bacteria and their viruses, bacteriophages, where both try to outsmart each other. An international study led by Lund University provided an important missing bit to the puzzle of how the bacteria defend themselves against phages. This is an important stepping stone towards developing effective phage-based therapies to be used as an alternative to antibiotics. Bacte

Should climate researchers let their findings speak for themselves, or does the state of the planet mean that it is a duty to take to the barricades? How can science get its message across in the best way and does climate activism by researchers impact their credibility? These questions were the focus of Debatt i Lund this May. The panel consisted of sustainability researcher Kimberly Nicholas, so

Neuroblastom är en tumörsjukdom som främst drabbar små barn. Överlevnaden är den lägsta av alla barncancerformer. Nu har en forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet upptäckt att en specifik gen är kopplad till sämre prognos. Studien publiceras i tidskriften Science Advances. Varje år insjuknar runt tjugo barn i Sverige i tumörsjukdomen neuroblastom. Tumörerna växer i det sympatiska nervsystemet som börj

Emma Kritzberg took the train to a meeting on Mallorca. A journey that took 54 hours and cost double what it would have to fly a couple of hours to the Mediterranean island. Yet, flying was never an option. She has not flown once for work or privately in the last six years, a conscious decision she took to reduce her carbon footprint. Emma Kritzberg, professor at the Department of Biology, stepped

Genom en ny ekvation har en forskargrupp lyckats beskriva dynamiken hos ett allmänt återkopplat kvantsystem. Upptäckten möjliggör djupare studier av kvantmekanik och kan bli viktig i utvecklingen av framtidens kvantdatorer. Dagens teknik minskar ständigt i storlek. Vid riktigt små längdskalor börjar kvanteffekter, så som tunnling, superposition och sammanflätning bli påtagliga. Det är därför vikti
